This is a maintenance release. This release contains a lot of work in preparation for The Merge, and work for an upcoming change to the way state is stored in go-ethereum.
This release also adds a new tool to convert 'legacy' receipts into a newer format. During startup, geth will check the database and tell you if you need to perform the conversion. Converting receipts is only needed if geth's ancients database has not been resynced from scratch during the last couple of years. It is recommended to back-up your receipts freezer table (ancients/receipts*) before performing the conversion.
Compatibility note about core/types: For optimization purposes, types.Header and other types in this package now implement the rlp.Encoder interface. This change can cause incompatibilities because the new method is implemented with pointer receiver. Attempting to RLP-encode unadressable (i.e. non-pointer) values of type Header does not work anymore and will result in an error.
